Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2343 Seven Volumes 43 Just Make You Unexpected (Bi)
Early the next morning, Yuqin thought over and over again, wondering how to pass this on to Wanxi.

Going out to pay respects to Empress Nala, as soon as I left the Jingren Gate, I happened to meet the car of Concubine Wan who came from Yonghe Palace.

Yuqin simply told this to Wanpin first.

Wanpin listened, bowed her head and smiled.

Yuqin stared at Wanpin cautiously, "Sister Chen is not surprised?"

Wanpin raised her eyes, and a smile overflowed her eyes, "I'm really not surprised."

Yuqin took a deep breath, "Bai Changzai has been getting along well with us all these years, but it is more because of his personal relationship with Wanxi. Therefore, I dare not say that I can see through this Bai Changzai. In the Chuxiu Palace, I lived with Concubine Yu together with her, but firstly I didn't want to make Concubine Yu suspicious, and secondly because of our two temperaments, I didn't have much contact with her."

"Therefore, I don't dare to take her lightly in my heart." Yuqin raised her eyes to look at Concubine Wan, "Sister Chen, you also know that Concubine Yu is always the best at hiding her secrets, and I don't dare to rest assured that it is her. Taking advantage of an opportunity to live in the palace, he instigated Bai Chang to go somewhere."

Wanbi laughed, "You have to be so worried. After all, Miss Xiao Lu is your Lu family's sister. It's really difficult for you to be caught in the middle. You can't guess Bai Changzai's thoughts for a while, so it's inconvenient to directly Tell Wanxi the words."

"Then you might as well just listen to me. After all, Zi Wanxi has just given birth at this time, so she shouldn't be too disturbed; besides, the Empress Dowager's birthday is coming up, and it's Chinese New Year. Miss Xiao Lu can't rush this matter."

"You simply use the same thing to deal with all kinds of changes. After all, after a while, the person named Bai Chang who said these things will come up with an explanation himself."
.
Yuqin listened to Wanbi's words, kept the matter in her heart for the time being, and didn't tell Wanxi.

Fortunately, she didn't hold back for a few days. Three days later, that is, on November [-]th, the emperor entered the fasting palace to fast because of the great ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven during the Winter Solstice Festival.Two days before the emperor entered the fasting palace, he was tired of staying in Yongshou Palace, accompanying Wanxi and Xiao Shiwu, and Wanxi didn't bother to ask her about it.

November [-]th is the official day of the Winter Solstice Festival. The emperor fasted for three days, and the last day of the fast, that is, November [-]th, was moved from the fasting palace in the palace to the fasting palace in the southern suburb of Huanqiu. Spend the last night.

It was also on November [-]th, when the emperor was not in the palace at all, and was fasting in the fasting palace, the emperor suddenly issued a decree from the fasting palace in the southern suburbs without warning: seal the words as a salary Often.

When the decree came back to the palace, everyone including Wanxi, Yuqin, and Nalashi were taken aback.

Even if he had something to ask the emperor at this moment, there was nowhere to ask.

It's okay for Wanxi, after all, after the winter solstice festival, the emperor will be able to ask the question when he comes back to offer sacrifices to heaven; and at this time, since everyone's surprise can't ask the emperor, they all look at Queen Nala.

The Nala family is the lord of the Sixth Palace, and this time it is only the first permanent presence, so the queen should be notified anyway.

Nala stared at Yuqin in astonishment, although he tried his best to hide it on the surface, but his heart was already burning with anger!

—How did she know.Who would have thought that the emperor had fasted for two days, and the important winter solstice ceremony would be tomorrow, but he suddenly made such a decree today, and sealed a small regular to go there! .
No matter what, all the concubines also expressed their congratulations to Yuqin, and they all changed their address to Yuse affectionately, calling them "Sister Lu".

Lu Changzai was already weeping with joy, he didn't dare to do anything wrong in front of everyone, he carefully restrained himself, but in the end his eye circles were still red.

At this moment, Yuqin didn't know what it was like, so she didn't care about it for the time being, and first took Yuser to formally greet the queen, Wanxi and other high-ranking concubines.

Nala was seated at the top, no matter how awkward she felt, she still had to be patient, with the arrogance of a queen on her face, she raised her chin high, stared at the corner of her lower eyelid, and knelt down on the ground language.

"This year, it's also interesting to say. It wasn't the year to choose women, but at the beginning of the year, a nobleman was conferred; now it's the end of the year, and another one is conferred with permanent residence."

In today's matter, originally Lu Changzai was the main character, so it was logical for Nalashi to force her to talk; It was very embarrassing on the face of the nobleman.

Wanxi took the first place in the queen's seat, closest to Nala's family.After hearing Nala's words, Wanxi saw that the face of the nobleman turned pale at that moment.

Wanxi bowed her head and pondered for a while, then said with a smile, "This year is the year of the great celebration when the emperor completely pacified the Zhunbu and returned to the ministry, and it is also the emperor's 50 birthday. Such a year has only happened in 50 years. Naturally It’s also a little bit of a celebration.”

Nala stared at Wanxi with a sneer, "Concubine Ling is good at talking, and I can ask Concubine Ling to talk about anything flat."

Wanxi raised her sleeve and pressed her lips, lowered her head and smiled softly, "Master and empress are too self-effacing, she actually said what she said just now is 'Fang's flat', this concubine has never felt that way before."

Having said that, Yuqin was the leader, Concubine Ying, Concubine Shu and the others all laughed along with them.

Nala couldn't help but sneered, "Concubine Ling got a prince again, it really is different. Little Shiwu has just reached the full moon, and concubine Ling already dares to pick on me, the middle palace."

Nala's eyes slowly slid across Concubine Yu's face, "Oh, I really don't dare to think, when my junior is fifteen years old, or even older, will the imperial concubine stop paying attention to me?" went?"

Wanxi sat upright, and after hearing Nala's words, she just smiled very lightly.

"The mistress is joking again. No matter what the status of the concubine is, the mistress is the queen of the palace. This is the imperial decree of the emperor and the empress dowager. It cannot be changed by the status of the concubine. Therefore, why does the mistress care about the status of the concubine?" Is there a mistress here?"

Wanxi half turned around, faced Nala, and smiled sweetly, "Master, you only need to care, whether the emperor and the empress dowager see you or not, is more important. Tell me, master, don't you?"

"You!" Nalashi patted the hand pillow, and with a "bang", he stood up, stood on the red sandalwood pedal, and glared at Wanxi condescendingly.

Wanxi was not in a hurry, and slowly stretched out her hand to Yuchan, who stood up calmly with Yuchan's support, and bowed to Nalashi according to the etiquette.

"Mistress, please calm down. I am really terrified, but I don't know what I said wrong just now. Mistress is so furious. Could it be that - Mistress doesn't care whether she is looked down upon by the emperor or empress dowager?"

"Oh, if that's the case, then the concubine deserves to die for the crime. The concubine will plead guilty to the master and empress; when the emperor comes back from offering sacrifices to heaven, the concubine will definitely go to the emperor in person and ask for a heavy punishment."

Nala gritted her silver teeth and stared at Wanxi fiercely, but she didn't know what to say.

Wanxi also withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes lightly, and said calmly, "Actually, what I mean by this concubine is just to say that this year is a year of great joy, whether in the court or in the emperor. You should be happy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. The emperor granted the title of nobleman at the beginning of the year, and the title of nobleman at the end of the year.

"In such a happy year, the whole country celebrates together, and the emperor is happy, so the mistress should be the first to accompany the joy, right? So, this time, Lu Chang is paying respects to the mistress, and the mistress should also Smile more and be happy.”

Wanxi's eyes were clear and shallow, and she raised them again, covering Nala's face, "Master, the lady said, is what I said reasonable?"

In this world, after all, there is an irrefutable truth: if you make everyone happy, then everyone is happy; if you make others unhappy, no one has the obligation to coax you, and you deserve to feel ashamed. .
.
Nala's family was upset, so the people didn't stay for long and dispersed.

After leaving Yikun Palace, Yuqin hurriedly called Yuse over, "Don't you kowtow to Concubine Ling? If it wasn't for Concubine Ling today, you might not be able to be manipulated by the Empress!"

In today's situation, Yuse himself was startled and frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to kneel down for Wanxi.

Wanxi sighed softly, and grabbed Yuqin, "What is sister doing? It's November, and the ground here is as cold as ice."

Yurui was by the side, so she also walked over with a smile, and helped Yuse up with her own hands for Wanxi, "Sister Lu, please get up quickly. I have the cheek to say something for the master of the imperial concubine and sister Lu: the most beautiful woman in the world What cannot be severed is the kinship, Sister Lu and Sister Qingfei, they are all sisters."

"Based on the relationship between Concubine Qing and Concubine Ling over the years, as long as your nobleman is Concubine Qing's sister, Concubine Ling must treat her as her own sister. No matter who you are in front of, even if you are the Queen's master just now. In front of you, the noble concubine and master will definitely protect you in everything."

Yuse nodded vigorously, "My concubine understands, thank you sister Rui for pointing it out."

Wanxi came over in person and shook Yuse's hand, "No matter what, this is a good thing. Now you are no longer an official woman, but the emperor's serious Lu Changzai, the young master of the palace. "

A blush also appeared on Yuse's cheeks, "... I have had such a hope since I was a child. But I never thought that this day would really come; moreover, it came so suddenly, without even the slightest advance notice Signs go."

Wanxi smiled, "Why is there no sign? Since the emperor can pick you into the palace, it is a sign. Although you participated in the selection of the maid of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this year the emperor is busy with sacrifices to the mausoleum and did not go to see it in person; but the pick The Ministry of Internal Affairs also presented the list of names to the emperor. If the emperor remembers your nickname, it means that the emperor has chosen you."

"If so, there were signs of all this at that moment. Otherwise, why would the emperor pick you into the palace, and why would he put you next to your sister?"

In the long street, the wind swirls and cuts people's faces. No one dares to stay for a long time, especially Wanxi, who has just completed her confinement and dare not catch a cold.

Yuqin asked Yuse to go back to the palace first, and she would arrange accommodation and manpower for Yuse when she went back.

Yuse went back first, Yuqin personally sent Wanxi back to Yongshou Palace, sat down, still couldn't help apologizing.

"Look at this matter... Well, the emperor really caught me by surprise. Why did the emperor suddenly shut down his words? If it is according to the rules in the palace, at least she should be taught to learn the rules first, and then Enter the seal again; the emperor didn't even have the will to teach her to learn the rules, so she was officially granted the seal."

Wanxi smiled relievedly, "Sister...you are so flustered. I told you earlier that we are not what we were 20 years ago. It's in my heart. Besides, my sister can't see it, since the emperor suddenly issued an order, it means that the emperor has already made a decision in his heart."

Yuqin was slightly taken aback, and then smiled, "Oh, I just got it right now—the person who dares to love Bai Chang in the back is the emperor!"

Only then did Yuqin tell Wanxi what happened between Bai Changzai and Yuse that night, and Wanxi lowered her head and chuckled when she heard it.

"Then I'm even more relieved. The emperor didn't want us to worry about these things, but fortunately we care about it for nothing."

Wanxi raised her head and stared at Yuqin earnestly, "Sister, go back now, and make arrangements for Lu Chang. After all, it's my sister, so don't make Lu Chang feel neglected today."
.
Everyone dispersed, but Lan Guiren was in no hurry to return to Jingren Palace.

She went to the imperial garden, and there was no scene in the imperial garden at the moment, she just wandered around casually.

Although there are palaces and pavilions in the imperial garden, if it is not the emperor's will in this winter, those palaces and pavilions that have no special arrangements will not smoke charcoal and cage fire.

Xige couldn't help persuading, "Master, we've been wandering outside for quite a while now... It's cold in the imperial garden, master carefully caught the wind and cold."

Lan Guiren sighed, and found a cold room to sit down.

"It doesn't matter if it's cold, after all, I still have big hairy clothes on my body, and I have a hand stove in my hand, so I can't be cold. I, I am too lazy to go back to the palace to watch them torment."

Lu Chang was at the beginning of the seal, and she had to arrange a residence, move in from the House of Internal Affairs to furnish, appoint officials and women, etc., all of which were just the excitement of the house, and she didn't bother to look at it.

"In our Jingren Palace, it happened to be easy to move out to have a regular presence in Er, and then a regular presence in Lu. That is Concubine Qing's sister, and now the three of them are getting closer in Jingren Palace. the alienated one."

Xige hurriedly persuaded, "Master, don't be sad, the master naturally has the empress dowager to support him. With the empress dowager here, who in the harem would dare to alienate the master?"

Lan Guiren let out a sigh of relief, "That is to say, I don't care about the people in the harem. But... the emperor's thoughts, I can't help but care."

Lan Guiren turned his head to look out of the window.Such a vast world was originally separated into a small square world by the palace wall; now it is even in sight, cut into smaller pieces by the window panes in front of me.

Although the heaven and the earth are large, the world is small; what can be seen with human eyes is naturally smaller.

Lan Guiren sighed quietly, "I have been in the palace for three years, but when will the emperor treat me better? It has been three years, and I don't know how to explain to my mother's family! A queen, a noble concubine, plus a queen dowager like the empress dowager... But me, I have been in the palace for three years, and I am still just a nobleman!"

"When I first entered the palace, you all advised me to wait, saying that I would always wait for the emperor's favor. With the emperor's filial piety to the empress dowager, he will definitely treat me well...but I have been waiting for three years Are you not patient enough to wait? I have already waited for the emperor until he is 50 years old, do you want me to wait?"

When Lan Guiren spoke of his sadness, there was a sudden rustling sound from the steps outside the door.

Xige hastily stepped forward and grabbed Lan Guiren's sleeve, motioning for silence.

The door creaked open, but Concubine Xin walked in.

Concubine Xin raised her eyes and saw Lan Guiren, she was surprised, then she nodded with a smile, "I didn't expect to have a heart-to-heart connection with Sister Lan, and now they all come to the Imperial Garden for a while, and they all choose to sit here for a while."

Seeing that it was Concubine Xin, Mrs. Lan quickly got up, stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Xin's hand, pulling her to sit down together.

"Sister, why do you still go out for a stroll now? My sister lives alone in the first palace, what do you want to be quiet; unlike me, when I go back to the palace, my ears are just noisy."

Concubine Xin nodded with a smile, "That's right. Concubine Zi Qing must have put all her heart and soul into arranging a place for her sister at this moment, moving around the furnishings. The House of Internal Affairs also has to send all the good things in the warehouse to Jingren Palace one by one. Although Lu Changzai is just a permanent presence, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has to look at Concubine Qing's face, so it can only choose from the highest standard. Come to think of it, even if it is a permanent presence, the cost of that response is not afraid. It will be lower than the nobleman."

Lan Guiren snorted, "No matter how high their standards are, I don't believe they dare to go beyond what is given to me!"

Concubine Xin laughed, "No! Although Sister Lan is still a nobleman, the price of a response is naturally the best among noblemen. The servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs naturally understand which Buddha is the biggest in the palace; I want to please Concubine Qing, but why don't I understand, how can Concubine Qing compare with the Empress Dowager?"

Only then did Lan Guiren feel more at ease, "It's still Sister Xin who can talk, and now I feel a lot more at ease."

Lan Guiren raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Xin, "It's been a while since I sat and talked with Concubine Xin, and I don't know what Concubine Xin is busy with."

Concubine Xin laughed, "What can I be busy with, of course I'm just taking care of my Eighth Princess. She also has her third birthday this year, so it's time to teach her how to write big characters."

Lan Guiren also nodded, "However, Lu Chang is in Chufeng today, and my sister is smiling all over her face, but I don't see anything unhappy."

"That's right, my sister has a princess, so she's naturally different from those of us who don't have a favorite and have nothing to do."

Concubine Xin stretched out her hand and gently pinched Lan Guiren's nose, "Look at what you said. In this harem, even if anyone has any worries, you don't have any. And the Empress Dowager, why can't she help you? Is it well planned?"

Lan Guiren snorted lightly, "Why, could it be that Sister Xin is quite happy that Lu Chang is here?"

Concubine Xin raised her eyes, fixedly looked at Lan Guiren, smiled and said nothing.

Lan Gui's heart moved slightly, and she couldn't help but shouted in disbelief, "Sister Xinpin, what's the matter with me? If sister doesn't want to talk, then we don't have to sit together. I'll just leave now!"

Concubine Xin laughed, and pulled Lan Guiren back.After nobleman Delan sat down again, he smiled and said, "... Sister Lan, listen to me, you don't have to be unhappy. This Lu is always there. Although she is Concubine Qing's sister, she is not the same as Concubine Qing. The milk compatriots are nothing more than close clansmen."

"That little girl has always wanted to compete for favor. This time, before the emperor left for Qiuxi, I gave her a few words of advice. This girl is also very considerate... Look, the emperor will come back in October, and she will come back this November." It has been sealed, so it can be seen that she must have had something to do with the emperor in Mulan."

Lan Guiren couldn't be happy, "What good is that for me? The emperor even wants someone like her, but why doesn't he want to see me?"

Concubine Xin suppressed her laughter, and lightly held Lan Guiren's hand, "It's one thing to be favored, but another to be able to settle down in your own palace. You said it when you were in Jingren Palace."

Lan Guiren squinted his eyes and quietly stared at Concubine Xin.

"Sister Xinpin is saying... that Lu Changzai is someone I can trust?"

Concubine Xin shrugged slightly, "At least, she must be easier to get along with than the former E Changzai. After all, she is young and has no heart; moreover, she is more compatible with Concubine Qing and Concubine Yu in your palace." You make friends. As long as you treat her well, she will naturally come to you. If so, you will not be isolated in Jingren Palace."
.
On November [-]th, the emperor worshiped heaven in Huanqiu.

Because it was the Winter Solstice, the princes and grandchildren, who were always busy with their homework, also got a day off.

Both Lawang and Fukang'an came to Yongshou Palace to accompany Xiao Qi to play with Xiao Shiwu; even Yong Xing also came.

It's just that after Yongxing came to Wanxi's dormitory to say hello, he only teased Xiao Shiwu for a while, and then went to Yurui's place with an excuse.

Even Yurui felt a little strange, and couldn't help teasing Yongxin, "What did Brother Eleven say? I couldn't figure it out for a while, what attracted Brother Eleven to come here?" .”

Yongxuan sat on the kang and laughed, "Mistress Rui, please forgive me... I am almost nine years old this year, how can I coax a few children to play with Aunt Ling? But They also refused to let me go, as soon as they saw me, they had to play together, oh my ears, they were buzzing to death."

Yu Rui also laughed, "Brother Eleven has really grown up, huh? I forgot that you were so buzzing when you were young. Haven't you seen the crickets thumping when they run now, haven't you?" Tell you to take Wang Geer, Bao Geer and others to toss?"

"I saw Brother Bao being mischievous outside, but you didn't teach me that brother Eleven a little while ago?"

Yong Xing laughed so hard that he slapped the table, "Ms. Rui, let's just talk in our own room, don't go out and let outsiders know. That big black pot, I'll ask Qilin to take it on me!"

Seeing that he was happy, Yurui also asked Cuiyan to bring him some chews to save him from being lonely.

Yong Xing bit the pastry but turned his head and threw it around, "Huh? Where's Cui Huan?"
